You've seriously got to be kidding me... I've read this at least 10 times to see if you really wrote that. Ha ha...Originally Posted by SLOWLYbtngU
I look more at appearance than I do skin color... A creepy old man is a creepy old man (brett! lol j/k)
wow.. thats stupidHehehehe...I am dead ass.
I'll put an end to all this racial intolerance:
What I mean is that even though my English is better than my Spanish I ma very much so likely to push the fact that I am bilingual...Oh and yes that is exactly what I am saying...I have gotten jobs over people with degrees b/c I am bilingual...That is life...

Dead ass serious, when I interned with the AJC all of the criminal reports stated that most of the crimes commited on MARTA were by caucasians...Therefore the purse gets hold tighter

I'll give you that one. Being bilingual is a major plus in the work world.
why do they label themselves african??? shouldn't it be more like the COUNTRY they came from.. not the land mas..
i call myself american.. not north american.... and further more.. if u were born here YOUR AMERICAN not anything else...
(i think brett posted a speech by andy rooney that talks about that topic)
I have a hard time believing this. Not saying it isn't true. Got anything to back it up?Dead ass serious, when I interned with the AJC all of the criminal reports stated that most of the crimes commited on MARTA were by caucasians...Therefore the purse gets hold tighter
ok, thats KIND OF understandable... thats not a race card though, thats better qualified for the job...
there shouldnt be a reason for that though, IF YOU ARE IN AMERICA, YOU SHOULD LEARN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!!!!!
exactly so my question still stands if they are African Americans why is it called BLACK HISTORY MONTH?
APD police reports for the years of 2003-2005. It was used in one of the reporters that I did research for's column. It was a small piece about the inaccuracies in the racial profiling that happens in Atlanta, mainly the Fulton County area. I think I still have the sources at home, but I would have to search for them...But yeah, it's true babe.

In america,
African americans = Black
But this isn't true in some cases.
Yes it would be if there is such a month.Aww...Latin American Month (September) is racist too huh? Even though we come in all colors....Dammmit! Fucking spics.
If someone wants to truly learn about MY culture, why do they have to be remind of it by a "month"? If you want to learn about my Latin heritage, ask me. I'll gladly tell you what Latin America is REALLY like. I know about my Tainos, about Christopher Columbus finding us wayyy before he ever found "America", about how the word "Indians" came from Columbus thinking he'd reached the West Indies and therefore he'd found "Indians" rather than the Bahamas/Puerto Rico/DR/Cuba, and about our own slavery history in our own sugar cane plantations. You wanna know? Ask me, and I'll gladly tell you. It's MY history. It's my heritage. But do I wear it on my arm or tattoo it on my forehead?? Hell no. It doesn't make me any less proud. It doesn't make me forget my history and ancestry.
So just because some politician thinks up to give my ancestry a "month" doesn't mean squat to me. People are going to be no less tolerant of me that month anyway.
You want real change? You want people to not pre-judge you?
Then represent YOUR culture and YOUR heritage in the best light possible. If that means you think that wearing your hat sideways, your pants down to your ankles, blinged out teeth, and talking to where noone understands what the fuck you're saying is "good"......then keep on keeping on, but you have no damn room to complain IMO then.
because there are more than just africans here, and we did enslave more than just africans...
and as i said... and as pbm2 agreed, i would bet most of the blacks wouldn't know if they were african or not... just cause u have dark skin doesn't mean ur from africa...
technically, egyptians are african americans too if u look at it that way.. right?
a.k.a the Senate.
For the most part I agree with you, I think that people should learn English. What I have noticed though is that when people move here from elsewhere they surround themselves or move to places where the people are like them or family of them...Meaning that in order for them to get by they never have to speak English. I did a report about that in college...I decided to do "A Day in Chamblee/Doraville," and in that entire day the only time that I needed to use English was when I went to an immediate care clinic, but even then they were more than willing to find and interpreter(sp?) for me. You see what I mean? If there is no real need for you to learn something then you wont. Some people make sure that they can communicate effectively whereas others just get by.

no i agree i just think that if they want to be called AFRICAN AMERICAN shouldn't their month be the same? thats just me... its kinda like people immigrating to US which 1st language is english yet they will only use spanish
Theres just some things we will never understand or explain....Just gotta live your life and treat everyone how you expect to be treated. Have strong morals, ethics, and outlook and thats the only thing that can change how were living.
i think that is a nice way of saying we rather turn our head then to face reality so we will let life continue in this PC world.
being PC is for people who can't face reality... you were born in GA guess what your not African American, your BLACK; just as i am WHITE.
Damn sorry I neg'd you the other day, cuz I would so plus one you right now...
